C-Sections Are Not the Easy Way Out

C-sections are not the easy way out—they require major abdominal surgery, with 40% longer recovery times than vaginal births. C-section moms cannot drive for weeks, cannot lift anything heavier than their baby, and must manage an incision site that demands vigilant care to prevent infection, affecting 1 in 10 women. This recovery is more intensive than #8's grieving process, demanding physical healing alongside emotional adjustment. Nothing about it is easy.
